There is plenty to learn about the new Lakers star and his coach, a former teammate who spoke highly then of the player who is now the team's future leader.

JJ Redick played 13 games with the Dallas Mavericks after he was dealt to the team at the NBA's trade deadline in 2021. Now, nearly four years later, he's the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and will coach his former star teammate, Luka Dončić.

A video from LeBron James and JJ Redick's former podcast, "Mind the Game," has resurfaced following the reported trade. In the video, Doncic's new head coach and teammate discuss strategies for defending the young superstar. The video was recorded before Redick assumed the role of head coach for the Lakers.
